Our WRs combined for over 200 yards and 2 TDs.
Burrow was good, but limited on what plays we could run.
Mixon rushed for 73 on 4.8 per carry and even threw a TD.
ST was great once again.

But.....our "offensive" line gave up 7 sacks and had our offense game planning around it's limitations.
Burrow was sacked 70 times overall this season and it took awhile, but the injury people were worried about might have happened again. To the other knee.
Chase was great. Fix. The. Line.
Agreed. Offensive line just collapsed. Allowing seven sacks and quite honestly, you could argue it was eight sacks because Burrow just flung the ball in the air going down on that last play. All else equal, if Burrow is protected then Cincinnati wins. Just really disappointing stuff. Interested to see what Cincinnati does for the OL this off-season. They are firmly in their SB window.
